Hey guys Many many thanks for all your replies and help
Have tried the command to create and update the "options" file and it worked wonderfully. I have no doubt it will all work fine when I next download something from radio 3. My faith in human nature has been confirmed..... Once again many thanks Rod Crittenden -----Original Message----- From: get_iplayer [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of David Earle Sent: 06 May 2014 15:46 To: get_iplayer Subject: Re: windows version of iplayer - output format get_iplayer --prefs-add --aactomp3 On 6 May 2014 15:37, Ben Shepherd <[email protected]> wrote: > On my Windows 7 system, the file is in > C:\Users\<username>\.get_iplayer.
